De La Salle Philippines: A Brief History

In a desire to harness the collective energy and resources of the educational institutions under the De La Salle Brothers of the Philippine District to further the Lasallian Mission, the 18 Lasallian schools in the country came together and established De La Salle Philippines. In this network the autonomous units unite as One La Salle to articulate a comprehensive strategic plan that will improve the overall quality of Lasallian education by charting a rationalized educational agenda and sharing capital and intellectual resources for the mission of making Lasallian education more accessible and equitable.

From 18 schools in its inception, the number of schools under the network was reduced to 17 when De La Salle Professional Schools was reintegrated to De La Salle University at the end of SY 2008-09. 11 schools in Luzon, Jaime Hilario Integrated School-La Salle, De La Salle Araneta University, La Salle College Antipolo, La Salle Green Hills, De La Salle University, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, De La Salle University-Dasmariñas, De La Salle Health Sciences Institute, De La Salle Canlubang, and De La Salle Lipa; 3 schools in Visayas, University of St. La Salle, St. Joseph School-La Salle, and De La Salle Andres Soriano Memorial College; 3 schools in Mindanao, La Salle University, La Salle Academy, and De La Salle John Bosco College work in communion to continue the mission that St. John Baptist de La Salle started some 300 years ago
